Phulara Ridge is an undiscovered gem near Kedarkantha — a long ridge trail at 12,000 ft that offers uninterrupted 360-degree views of the Garhwal and Himachal Himalayas for kilometres on end.
Founder-Led Adventure Series
Once a month, MonkTrekker personally leads one small-group Himalayan journey — not a standard package, but a route chosen for what it teaches, not just where it goes. Expect backpacking over marked trails, unscheduled stops in villages most itineraries skip, campfire conversations that run late, and a pace built for actually being there, not just getting through it.
September 2026
A 7-day backpacking route to Roopkund, capped at 12 trekkers so the group actually gets to know each other — and MonkTrekker. No fixed camps, no rush between checkpoints, and long enough away from signal that you'll notice it.

A long, scenic drive from Dehradun, winding through the mountains to reach the base camp at Sankri.
Arrive in Dehradun by 6 AM to join the morning transport to Sankri.
Begin the trek with a steep climb out of Sankri, walking through beautiful pine and oak forests to the clearing of Sikolta.
The ascent is steep today; go slow and let your body acclimatize.
A shorter trekking day through forests and small meadows to reach Bhoj Gadi, perfectly positioning you for the ridge walk tomorrow.
Rest well; tomorrow is the longest and most rewarding day.
The defining day! Ascend to the ridge and walk for hours with drops on both sides and peaks all around, before descending to the massive Pushtara bugyals.
Keep your camera ready—the views from the ridge are unmatched.
Descend from the meadows through dense forests to the road head at Taluka, and take a short drive back to Sankri.
The descent can be tough on the knees; use trekking poles.
Depart from Sankri and drive back to Dehradun, completing the journey.
Book your onward train or flight from Dehradun for after 8 PM.
